REMEMBER!

With Elizaveta Nikiforovna Naked we've known each other for about 25 years. Even then she was pretty, and today she looks attractive, with a sweet smile, ready to embrace at a meeting. I know how she got to the White Yar, although she was born in the Altai.

The parents had five children, father and mother worked from dawn to dusk, but fell into the lists of kulaks, and now they were in our taiga: vile, hunger, illness. Mother died. The little brother died. Father escaped from exile, not hoping to feed the children, with the intention of picking them up later, as there will be an opportunity.

The children were given to different orphanages. Lisa all put a piece of paper in her pocket with her address to find when they grow up. My father was already forgiven of the escape, he worked, was going to go for the guys, but then, as luck would have it, they killed Kirov, and his father was sent to the Far East as a conspirator.

But what is the connection between the murder of the leader in St. Petersburg and the peasant from Altai? And now Lisa is a Komsomol member, and a secretary of the Komsomol organization. Homeland forgiven that the father is the enemy of the people? Or scared? And the statement was written? Or did not want the axis to lag behind friends and girlfriends?

Perhaps, it would be desirable to delete from a memory the cart on which they were taken, children, in exile? And an orphanage? Where in the winter did the girls have no stockings, but give a towel to knot the knee on one leg, then to the other, so it's easier not to frostbite?

Anyway, Elizabeth is a member of the Komsomol. When the war with the fascists began, she worked without days off - in the defense fund, she gave a single pillow - to the hospital. There were dances in her life, and New Year's holidays ....

Youth took its own. In the "Memorial" society they said that about two million seven hundred thousand people were rehabilitated - only in our Tomsk region. Can you imagine what caravans barges sailed along our Siberian rivers?

Several new settlements arose when the exiles were brought, each had a commandant. People had to be celebrated regularly. The only way to get out of the commandant's office is to marry a local. And they did. One woman, repressed in the past, cried: - Yes, did I go for him, if not for the commandant's office?

At the spouse the face is disfigured. But what is surprising, they say that if the commandant appointed an exile, he was so tortured by his unfortunate colleagues that he only groaned. Was it worth it? Maybe. One woman gloated: - The commandant tortured us, wished him all the bad. And now they found out that his legs were taken from him.

So it is necessary! Propaganda was put to the highest level. If we talk about the errors of the CPSU, the most ardent defenders can be repressed. The Komsomol members, former and current, if they have, a holiday.

But let's not forget anything: the children of orphanage knitting their knees with towels, and the foremost people who feed the fish front, and Timurovs who are willing to help the old people survive the winter.

And forget - go to the shore of Keti. There is an obelisk in memory of the repressed. Talk mentally with those to whom it is set, hear a groan, crying, lamentations ... Let your heart refuse evil thoughts. Only, it seems, wounds have healed from the war with the fascists, and even once again the soldiers are saber-rattling. We do not need war!
